A weird reality check

i had the honor last week of shooting the graduation photos for a couple of great kids. not just any kids but the kids of a friend that i went to high school with. i'm still trying to wrap my head around that one. someone my age is old enough to have kids that just graduated high school? seriously am i.. are we that old??? yes i'm afraid we are. my lovely wife and i got a really late start at the kids thing, our oldest will be ten soon. but this was still a really weird realization, i just don't consider myself that old. my knees would disagree, they feel every day of my thirty eight years. nonetheless it was a great opportunity and i'm so happy i was able to do these photos for them. and what a fun bunch at that!

  2. Terry - I'm a "late comer" into the parenting field...I have a 10 and 7 year old...and my friends have kids graduate from HS, college, and some of my friends are even GRANDPARENTS! OUCH. But I truly believe that being an "older parent" has its' advantages...people think I am a lot younger than I am...and being older, I learned from watching others. Same as being a "new, older" photographer. I have the common sense to find good photographers that can mentor me, as opposed to going out and doing all the wrong things!
